Wedgewood and Harley Lead Dallas Stars to 4-1 Victory Over Los Angeles Kings

Saturday, March 16th, 2024

In a remarkable game in Dallas, the team's backup goalie, Scott Wedgewood, was the star of the night with 27 saves, leading the Stars to triumph over the Los Angeles Kings with a score of 4-1.

Wedgewood, stepping up in place of David Rittich, was a key player in Dallas overcoming the Kings again within a span of eight days. The team saw impressive contributions from Thomas Harley, Craig Smith, Wyatt Johnston, and Jamie Benn, who all scored, securing a 3-0 advantage in the opening period and breaking a potential three-game losing streak.

This victory served as a redeeming moment following a 6-2 defeat to New Jersey and was also marked by the celebration of Stars' legend Mike Modano with the unveiling of his statue, honoring his status as the franchise's top scorer.

The spotlight on Wedgewood was particularly bright considering the recent shaky performance of Jake Oettinger, who had let in four goals on just 10 shots in the preceding game's loss.

With this win, Dallas completed a clean sweep in the season's series against Los Angeles, outscoring them 13-3 in total.

Despite a strong effort from Rittich, who made 25 saves, Kevin Fiala managed to score the solitary goal for the Kings, unable to breach Wedgewood's defense further.
